Background

Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 will feature a distinctive all-new game balance system that affects both attacking and defensive phases of the game. The player with possession will now have 'instantaneous stamina' in addition to overall stamina, which prevents them from using full-pace sprints as a constant tactic. This means that players should be cautious not to sprint continuously while attacking because it will have an adverse affect on the player's body balance and the precision over their control of the ball. Additionally, excessive attempts to gain possession will also drain the player's stamina - just like in real life! Trying to be as real as possible is the key to rewarding gameplay.
